Grief, legal battle and a final tribute to Sunjay Kapoor 

            It's been twelve months since actress Karishma Kapoor saw her ex-husband, industrialist Sunjay Yakpur, unexpectedly walk past her in London. In the months after his death, an acrimonious prison battle over his large inheritance tore the family apart. However, on the first day of his death, his mother Ranikpur and wife Priyakpur were seen putting aside their differences to mourn him simultaneously.

A united front in memory of love

            On Friday, Priya Kapoor posted a touching tribute on social media, posting a picture with the caption “In loving memory of Sunjay J Kapoor”. In the confession, relatives expressed a sense of permanent loss and a sense of well-being. "It's been 12 months since you left, but your presence guides us every day. You were by no means faithful to stand still. You embraced life with strength, curiosity and conviction, inspiring those around you to dream bigger, work harder and give extra of themselves," the message said.

The tribute emphasized the values he left behind, "The value you lived, the life you touched and the love you gave so generously is deeply loved and remembered inside. Your love is our strength. Your memory remains our blessing still the main concept in the morning and the rest of the concept at night.”

A complex genetic dispute is unfolding

            The public show of solidarity comes as a protest against a backdrop of violent crime warfare. Sona Comstars chairman Sunjayakpur died on June 12, 2025 at the age of 53 after collapsing in form while playing polo. His first marriage to Karishma Kapoor in 2003 produced two minors, Samaira and Kian, before a protracted crime spree led to a divorce in 2016. In 2017, he married Priya, with whom he had a son, Azarius.

            The modern controversy surfaced over the manipulation of Sunjay’s huge wealth and admits the truth along with his own family. In a full-scale move, the Supreme Court intervened in May, directing Rani and Priya not to take steps that could jeopardize ongoing mediation efforts The court appointed former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud as the arbitrator, looking at the friendly judgment to all parties involved, including At. The order came after Priya filed an application to investigate Priya to prevent her from interfering in the work of RK Family Trust.

The challenges of wills and frozen assets.

            The inheritance dispute was equally complicated through the crime project of Karisma Kapoor’s children. They filed a case against Sunjay’s will, which allegedly bequeaths his entire property to Priya. In April, the Delhi High Court froze his assets amid a simmering ₹ 30,000 crore inheritance dispute. Priya faces serious charges, including claim falsification and filing an incomplete property list with the court. Now that the arbitration is in progress, the onus is on it to remove any doubt about the validity of the registration.
